a waxing gibbous moon on a pink horizon
the wheel turning soon as the night comes
grey little wings, little bird, little lovely
gold yellow strings pull down the sun
and i will not be weak anymore
i will learn to be brave
i will no longer fight your war
and i will no longer behave
for you the way you think i ought to be
the way the world tells me
left in lethargy in this dusty old barn
wings in synergy lifting me with the turn
am i dreaming when i rise, the heat gets thicker
but i've felt fire and ice and they both burn
they both burn
i will not say yes anymore
i will learn to stand my ground
i will always know the score
i will not let you push me down
into nothing but who i ought to be
something the world tells me
i will fly
i will take what's mine
i won't be who you think i ought to be
i will only ever be me
